I miss what.cd
Despite what anyone thinks about music piracy, what.cd had hands down the best music organization I've ever seen. I wish they had just dropped the torrents and kept the indexing features

Nowadays I’ve been sucked into the Spotify vacuum because of convenience, but I do miss out on more obscure music. And I have no idea how to find that, except from sites like SoundCloud and mixcloud, but their UX is horrible for this purpose.
These were rich, music-minded communities focused entirely on music.
They were made up of people who went against great friction to discuss artistic works with others willing to do the same.
I've paid for Apple Music since the onset and it has never come close to the weekly top seeded albums of these communities.
They could have open-sourced the whole thing, put a paid API endpoint on in, and kept on.
